If
you're like me, not
knowing how to read music has been a big hinderence from time to time...
Because of that I decided to write a few basics for people who are just
trying to get their feet wet... Since the treble clef is the most
common, we'll start with it.
The treble
clef, also known as the G-clef
(because it circles the line for the G note), is used in writing music
for most musical voices (soprano, mezzo-soprano, alto, and tenor), most
woodwind instruments, stringed instruments (violin, guitar) and high
brass instruments such as the trumpet. It also typically corresponds to
the notes played with the right hand on the piano. The notes played on
the lines of the treble clef staff are, from bottom to top, E, G, B, D,
F. The order of these notes can be remembered with the use of mnemonic
phrases such as Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge or Every Good Boy Does
Fine. The spaces between the lines, from bottom to top, correspond to
the notes F, A, C, E, a sequence which, obviously, spells "FACE."
Pretty
basic introduction but we'll get to more advanced stuff here quickly...
